Ryan

I bought some brie and a bottle of Cabernet. Care to join me on the patio?

Min-hee

Count me out, I'm lactose intolerant. It really upsets my stomach.

Ryan

Is that common among Koreans?

Min-hee

Yeah, most Asians are lactose intolerant. In fact, around 75% of the world population have some trouble digesting dairy products.

Ryan

If so many people are lactose intolerant, then why do most people eat cheese like there's no tomorrow?

Min-hee

Long story short, there's a component in milk protein that's meant to make milk addictive to calves, but it affects people too.

Ryan

That explains why there won't be any cheese left by the time I leave!
